What type of defensive looks should we expect to see from the Browns? Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Amari Cooper all had big days against the Browns defense. By the fortunate nature of the parody of the National Football League, Cleveland has been given a two-game extension,...

Browns starting quarterback, Josh McCown suffered a concussion in the closing minutes of the second quarter last week on a diving attempt on the goal line.

A 27-20 win over the Cleveland Browns Sunday was significant on several fronts.

With the game hanging in the balance, the ball hung in the air a beat too long.

For those of you hyperventilating over Mike Pettine’s decision to start Josh McCown over Johnny Manziel in Sunday’s Browns game against the Raiders: Relax, OK? Why is that? And why would Pettine go back to McCown? It may be several days before the team knows if McCown...

Now a team losing its starting signal-caller, in the season opener no less, is generally a huge step backwards. But you have to play to get there.

Maybe, he might remain as their starting quarterback if he does well. But Pettine said Monday he wouldn’t start Manziel simply to get an extended evaluation.

Travis Benjamin scored three touchdowns, two on passes from Manziel, and the defense kept quarterback Marcus Mariota under wraps in the second half Sunday to lead the Cleveland Browns past the Tennessee Titans, 28-14. Mariota finished 21 of 37 for 257 yards with two touchdowns....

“It’s easy to fall into, ‘Here we go again, ‘” said Pettine.

After that, though, Manziel ran around like his hair was on fire and was overmatched as the three turnovers reflect. Speaking of running, Manziel also showed that his first, second and third instinct upon seeing a play break down is to still make a dash for it, which is exciting...

-QB Marcus Mariota suffered an ankle injury but the Titans rookie did not miss a play.

McCown went airborne on the first drive of the season last Sunday against the New York Jets after attempting to run into the end zone on a scramble. “We’ll make sure that if he has to go in the game, he’ll be prepared”, Pettine said.

The only way for Johnny to build off the positives from the Jets game is to get first-team reps in practice and get back in the huddle Sunday against the Titans.
